It was Holi today and I guess it was the first time since I remember that I did not play. I clearly remember there was this one time when for some reason I decided not to play, but in an hour there was this gang of friends barging into my house pulling me out to play, and eventually I had an awesome time.
And today while I sat at home, relaxing just like a usual Sunday, it did not strike me what I missed, till the time I saw the pictures of people, with their faces painted in colors, hardly recognizable, and it reminded me of how much I enjoy this festival, how I love the colors, the water, the play, the pranks, the planning that goes into it on the eve, the bathroom full of blown up water balloons, the ongoing ranting of mom for the next 5 days for ruining the bathroom tiles, the monkey like faces in the class, roads, buses. And as it dawns on me that I missed it all, it certainly doesn't feel good, but then it's life. Yes, I do miss home, my friends, college, and people, but I also know that next year I shall have a rocking Holi once again. And the thought of it, already makes me feel a lot better. Hehe...So, here's wishing I have a great time next year... Happy Holi to everyone....
